2020年,我们很多人的生活充满了不确定性. 所以当日历翻到2021年时, 我还以为, 或者只是希望, 这一年带来了更快乐的故事情节. 我可以想象和梦想那些对我和我的家人来说可能是什么, but I have often wondered if others feel the same way or if the things that might bring me hope would be the same for my neighbors across Colorado.
在我的日常生活和工作中, I get to ask the people in my circle of loved ones and colleagues about what they’re experiencing and what’s on their minds. 我从这些对话中学到了很多, but I’m also curious about what I would hear if I got to have that kind of conversation with even more people beyond the folks I already know. 如果让我在全州打听的话, 我想知道我是否会听到类似或不同的经历, 对未来的担忧和希望.
一年一次, I do get to go beyond my circle and listen to the people of our state – because once a year, 我们进行Pulse:十大菠菜靠谱老平台民意调查. 通过它,我们询问全州邻居们的想法.
2021年8月, 我们问了2个,493名科罗拉多人告诉我们他们的担忧, 他们的经历, 以及他们未来的优先事项. As I dug into this year’s data reflecting what we heard, six takeaways leapt off the page at me:
- 科罗拉多人表示相信我们会有一个强劲的经济复苏, 但他们仍然对不断上涨的生活成本深感担忧.
- 与2020年相比,更少的科罗拉多人担心整体经济.
- 今年, 44% of Coloradans consider jobs and the economy to be a “very serious” problem; last year, 是63%.
- A majority of Coloradans (61%) still considers the economic impact of the coronavirus to be a “very serious” problem, 但这比去年的四分之三(75%)有所下降.
- More Coloradans (73%) say that the cost of living in the state is an “extremely” or “very serious” problem, 相比之下,2020年的受访者中有64%这样认为, 包括更多的黑人/非裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔科罗拉多人.
- About two-thirds (67%) of Coloradans support increasing government spending on programs to stimulate jobs and economic growth, 在科罗拉多有色人种中支持率很高.
